Mr. HACKS the Humorist.

The many friends of Mr.. A. W. Hawks,
the popular monologist, rendered him a
benefit Thursday evening at the hall OF the
Young Mems Christian Association. 1t
was in the form of a musical and literary
entertainment, the programme of which
delighted large audience. Mr.. Hawks
was himself the manager, and acted con-
spicuous part. The audience expected fun
and they were not disappointed. The exer-
cises were inaugurated with an organ solo,
which Mr.. Hawks manipulated with ham
die. His rendition of the Last Rose OF
Summer" with variations will be long re-
membered. All ladies who wore hats over
IL inches in height, were notified that they
would find resting places for them under
the chairs. More genuine humor has been
rarely concentrated in any one man than
that to be found in Mr.. Hawks. People
who never laughed before found it impossi-
BILE to keep their risbles straight.-BaH'-
